Morning Services At Ghe United
 Church.

Morning Services At Ghe United
 Church.
 The pulpit of the United church was very acceptably filled yesterday morning by Rev. J. w. Bixler, Dr. Munger's assistant. He read for the morning lesson the Seth psalm and part of the 3d chapter of Colossians. He selected for his text the words, "Teach me thy way, oh Lord, will walk in my truth, unite my heart to fear thy name;" especially the last clause of the verse. The fear allud- ed to, is flisl fear, the fear of offending, rather than the awe of something mysterious. "Teach me thy way" complete surrender, an entire conservation; not our way, but Gods way. It is analogous to the Chris tian's prayer, ''thy kingdom come," or to the prayer of Christ, 'sglorify thy son that the son may glorify thee" The will of God is the burden of Chrjst's teaching. We should be always Hooking unto Jesus, as Jesus was always looking to God. A two fold service is impossible. It is so in the very nature of things, even if Christ had not told us so. There must be one great purpose, one su- preme affection, one controlling motive. It is the absorption-of the soul in the plans of God It is the knowledge of God as our father that has given rise to the idea of hu- man brotherhood, ,and finds the human family together, including all our humane institu- tions for the relief of human suffering. Prof. Darwin seems to think that religion is un- necessary, but the teachings of such men, however valuable, are very limited in their effects as compared with gospel Christianity, a power, indeed, which surpasses that of the greatest philosophers that ever lived; for it is the wisdom and the power of God. And let us remember that we cannot preserve the morality or the magnanimity of the gospel unless we preserve the gospel itself; and it should also be con sidered that those who discard and reject Christianity are often indebted to it for all the privileges they enjoy. Christianity reforms the habits by renewing the mind. Resolutions and good intentions are not enough. Christ must be entnroned in the heart before Christ is exhibited in the life. The text is prayer and Christians cannot do better than offer the same prayer with earn estness and sincerity.
 Mr. Bixler has good voice and graceful elocution. The music was excellent and connlementary to the sermon

Cramps of the Muscles Cured.

John I. Wood of Stratford, Ont, was cured of cramps in the legs by wearing All cocks Porous Plasters. MT. Wood says:
 Some three months ago was taken very sick with severe pain in the small of my back over the kidneys. The pain was excruciating. I applied an Allcock's Porous Plaster over the affected region and had relief almost within an hour. At the same time, in conjunction with this trouble, had very great nervous disturbance, affecting my legs with cramps so could scarcely sleep. Meeting with such success with my back applied plaster un- der the knee on each leg, and in three days was completely cured, and have never been troubled in either way since.

People Who Went to Hamilton Park
 on Saturday DisGusted-The Trost1ng
 As Barefaced as Ever.
 "No races have ever disgraced Hamilton Park as those which have been held here this week, to my knowledge" So said we'll known turfman on Saturday. He was pres ent at the special races which had been arranged out of an alleged dispute between the owners of two trotters which were in Thursday's race.
 Every body supposed the races Saturday between Hargrave and Fannie and between Sancho and Wanderer, the pacers, would be on the square.
 But they weren't.
 The first race was between Sancho and Wanderer. Anybody who saw these two pacers on Wednesday has no hesitation iI saving that Wanderer is the faster of the two. In the first heat on that day Sancho was distanced, but the judges gave him fifth place. In the next heat he did no better and the judges decided him distanced.
 But Saturday he won the race. He took the first heat and then Wanderer won the next two in order to skin the pool box. Then Sancho took the succeeding two heats.
 The greatest interest was between Hargrave and Fannie. After the fourth heat the judges, William Parker of Meriden, E. T. Parshley of Branford and Patrick McKenna of this city, became so disgusted that they left the stand and three other men took their places Most of the spectators also left for home. Even after Fannie had won the first two heats the pools began to sell greatly in favor of Hargrave. The first three judges declared all pools off
 Fannie won the first heat in 2:3034. Think of thisl Thursday Hargrave won her three heats in 2:3714, 2:36 and 2:39. And yet on Saturday Fannie won the first two heats in 2:3O and 2:311s. Can anyone doubt now but that Thursdays race was hippodrom- ing affair9 "Doc'' Yale drove Fannie and in the two heats that Hargrave won "Doc" had to hold Fannie back with all his strength.
 It was the original intention, there is no doubt, that Hargrave should win, But when the driver saw how matters stood, that the pools had been declared off and that every one could plainly see that Fannie was by far the faster, then Yale drove Fannie to win.
 To sum the matter all up it was most disgusting piece of business All four Of these animals are owned in Massachusetts, but the owners did not take away much Connecticut money.
